Line 6 Helix Stadium Floor Amplifier Modeler and Multi Effects Processor

Helix Stadium Floor Amplifier Modeler and Multi Effects Processor Item Description

Helix® Stadium processors establish a new benchmark for modelers. Leveraging powerful DSP and the entirely new Agoura™ modeling methodology, they deliver extraordinary sound and responsiveness to playing dynamics, a sophisticated yet intuitive user interface, and unparalleled control capabilities.

The streamlined Helix Stadium Floor amp and effects processor may be thought of as a performance workstation, given its high-resolution 8" touch screen, ability to morph between ultra-authentic and idealized amp sounds with a single control, 8-channel audio interface, versatile Matrix cue mixer, Proxy amp, cab, and effect cloning, and Showcase™ automation and playback engine. Showcase enables it to serve as the centerpiece of an entire stage setup—including automatically recalling presets and snapshots, controlling loopers and software, and using MIDI to control pedals, keyboards and synths, video, and even lighting. Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi control are also supported.

Helix Stadium Floor offers extensive connectivity, including various analog and digital audio inputs and outputs, MIDI (DIN and USB), multipurpose Control jacks, and a proprietary Nexus™ port for use with the optional Expand D10 unit and future peripherals. The Expand D10 provides Variax®, L6 LINK™, 8-channel optical, and other connectors.

Whether you are a current Helix owner seeking to further your sonic adventure (your Helix/HX® presets can be loaded into Helix Stadium), or you are considering upgrading from another modeler, or even if you are a traditional amp and effects player intrigued by the convenience and nearly unlimited tone-crafting possibilities offered by multi-effects—Helix Stadium Floor can help you realize your musical vision.

Agoura modeling establishes a new benchmark for authentic sound when modeling physical amplifiers—from tube and transformer behavior to dynamic interaction with speakers and cabs—while also greatly increasing the accuracy of how amps respond to your playing dynamics, so they feel as authentic as they sound. And should you prefer your amp tones to be more polished, the new Hype feature enables you to morph between ultra-authentic and idealized sounds using a single control. Plus! Proxy with cloud-based processing enables you to capture the sound of your own amplifiers, cabinets, and effects.

At the heart of the sophisticated yet intuitive user interface is a high-resolution 8" touch screen that works in tandem with the 11 knobs, 13 buttons, and 12 footswitches to create one of the most ergonomic, intuitive, and inspiring user interfaces available. Its many features include Focus View with contextual parameter control, Preset Audition audio clips, and explanatory information text for most parameters.

Helix Stadium Floor provides an extensive array of analog and digital inputs and outputs, including Instrument and Microphone inputs, XLR and 1/4" analog outputs, a Phones output, two send/return jacks, two multipurpose dual Control jacks, and S/PDIF digital I/O. There are also DIN and USB MIDI connectors, a USB A port, and a proprietary Nexus port for use with the optional Expand D10 and future peripherals. Multiple external footswitches and expression pedals, such as the optional EX2, are supported.
